(_Chorus to "En revenant de la Revue."_) You're searching out for something very new These diaries, all shapes and sizes, view, Sir. Instead of "_En revenant de la Revue_," With "date cards" _reviendrez_ DE LA RUE, Sir. * * * * * WIRTHS BROTHERS' cards we like, and for this reason-- They are in keeping with the Christmas season. Of Christmas Cards you ask well where on earth's Their point? Quite so: but here's your money's wirths. * * * * * (AIR--"_John Peel._") Do you ken TOM SMITH As you ought to do, He is coming with Some Crackers new, Crackers and costumes not a few, To make merry a Christmas ev'ning. * * * * * (AIR--"_The Jolly Young Waterman._") Oh, did you ne'er hear of the name ARTHUR ACKERMANN, Who imports Christmas Cards called after PRANG, They are American, 'tis safe to back a man, Who holds for landscape cards premier rang. * * * * * The MARION Album intended for photos, Three-quarter pictures with scant legs and no toes. * * * * * Cards neat and droll, not too elaborated, Come from card-houses, which are CASTELL-ated. * * * * * "Take a Card," says BENNETT, "do," And a satin card-case too. * * * * * The SOCKL Court Card much delighted the Bard. And FAULKNER'S are charming. I "speak by the Card." * * * * * _The exhausted Poet addresses Mr. Punch._ Joy! Joy! my task I've done! and I, sweet Sire, Vainly, Macbeth-like, strike the slavish lyre.[1] I'll sing no more. Books! cards! go on the shelf. Sooner than strike my harp, I'll "strike" myself! My holiday's begun. Accept my benison! Signed MORRIS-BROWNING-AUSTIN-SWINBURNE-TENNYSON. [Footnote 1: "Lyre and slave! (_strikes him._)"--_Macbeth_, Act v., sc. 5.] * * * * * QUITE CHRISTMASSY. "DANCING DOLLS IN CHANCERY.--The solicitors' table was cleared of papers, and the ballet-girl doll, having been wound up, commenced to dance on the table, to the amusement of a crowded court. Mr. Justice KAY watched the performance with evident interest, and when the dance was concluded the doll was handed up to him and carefully examined. He then handed it to the Registrar of the Court, with an injunction 'not to hurt it.'" _Daily News._ Sing a song of Justice KAY up in his place, Four-and-twenty dancing dolls All in a case; When the case was opened The dolls were made to play, Wasn't that a pretty sight For Mr. Justice KAY?
